Bye bye Rose. Not rooting against him or happy about his injury, but he and they are done, regardless if the MCL is an easier recovery. Only way da Bulls do anything in post season is if they get HCA, that isn't happening with Rose missing what he is going to miss now.

Cartilage...ligaments...eh, it's all just a bunch of goo in there. Nobody actually knows for sure what any of it is or what it does or how it works so there's no real need for FUDU to make a distinction.

Yeah my bad, should have made a distinction, some players get lucky and get back on the floor in relative short time, I don't see it with Rose either, but anyhow even a month will bump dem Bulls down at least 1 seed if not more.

He tears the MCL and he's done for the year, legit. Two very different issues and functions.

He tears medial meniscus and he could play in ten days if he had to. Some have.

But as we know, even the meniscal issue can sideline Rose for extended time. He doesn't strike me as Derek the Lionhearted.

Chicago Bulls point guard Derrick Rose will miss the rest of the season after undergoing knee surgery Monday, the team announced.

The former MVP had the medial meniscus repaired in his right knee at Rush University Medical Center in Chicago.

The surgery was supposed to be performed by Dr. Brian Cole, the same man who performed the ACL surgery on Rose's left knee in May of 2012.

Heading into the procedure, there appeared to be two options for repairing Rose's knee. They could have either removed the meniscus, or a portion of it, and Rose could have been back on the floor in a matter of weeks. Having the meniscus re-attached, which appears to be the route Rose took, sidelines him for upwards of four to six months.

While the first procedure would have put him back on the court sooner, many players who have had that procedure, including Miami Heat star Dwyane Wade, say that it causes more problems later in a player's career.

From what I can read there he had the meniscus repaired instead of snipped, but it was still confined to the meniscus. The important thing to realize here is that FUDU wasn't half right, he was none right. None at all. Completely wrong.
